Hi ,
As a qualified UK Barrister, specialising in company and contract law, I have a great deal of experience drafting Shareholders' Agreements and Articles of Association.
Can I see your current documents please and let me know what specific amendments you require.
To ensure there are no problems with the running of the company, you need to cover these and other matters:
- shareholdings
- directors – who they are and who has a right to appoint them
- the board – who controls it if there is a deadlock
- share transfers – who can they be sold to, what happens if someone dies, or leaves the company - what happens to their shares?
- restrictive covenants
- bring along rights and tag along rights in the case of a third party buyout
- good leaver/bad leaver – in cases of leaving employment – illness, retirement, dismissed, etc
- dividend policy
Please let me know your timescale.
I have been practicing for nearly 20 years, but I am fairly new to Freelancer and looking to find some new clients - I always aim for a long term working relationship by providing high quality work.
Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Kind Regards.
